Follow the high-level steps in this article to upgrade the client for Mac computers by using a Configuration Manager application. You can also download the Mac client installation file, copy it to a shared network location or a local folder on the Mac computer, and then instruct users to manually run the installation.

Note

Before you do these steps, make sure that your Mac computer meets the prerequisites. See Supported operating systems for Mac computers.

Download the latest Mac client

The Mac client for Configuration Manager isn't supplied on the Configuration Manager installation media. Download it from the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager - macOS Client (64-bit). The Mac client installation files are contained in a Windows Installer file named ConfigmgrMacClient.msi.

Create the Mac client installation file

On a computer that runs Windows, run ConfigmgrMacClient.msi. This installer unpacks the Mac client installation file, named Macclient.dmg. By default, you can find this file in the following folder: C:Program FilesMicrosoftSystem Center Configuration Manager for Mac client.

Extract the client installation files

Copy Macclient.dmg to a Mac computer. Mount the Macclient.dmg file in macOS, and then copy the contents to a folder on the Mac computer.

Create a .cmmac file

  1. Open the Tools folder of the Mac client installation files. Use the CMAppUtil tool to create a .cmmac file from the client installation package. You'll use this file to create the Configuration Manager application.

  2. Copy the new CMClient.pkg.cmmac file to a network location that's available to the computer running the Configuration Manager console.

    For more information, see the Supplemental procedures to create and deploy applications for Mac computers.

Create and deploy the app

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, create an application from the CMClient.pkg.cmmac file.

  2. Deploy this application to Mac computers in your hierarchy.

Install the updated client

The existing Configuration Manager client on Mac computers will prompt the user that an update is available to install. After users install the client, they must restart their Mac computer.

After the computer restarts, the Computer Enrollment wizard automatically runs to request a new user certificate.

If you don't use Configuration Manager enrollment, but install the client certificate independently from Configuration Manager, see Configure clients to use an existing certificate.

Configure clients to use an existing certificate

Use this procedure to prevent the Computer Enrollment Wizard from running, and to configure the upgraded client to use an existing client certificate.

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, create a configuration item of the type Mac OS X.

  2. Add a setting to this configuration item with the setting type Script.

  3. Add the following script to the setting:

  1. Add the configuration item to a configuration baseline. Then deploy the configuration baseline to all Mac computers that install a certificate independently from Configuration Manager.

One of the aspects where Macs differ from Windows PCs the most is when it comes to installing applications. On Macs, you need mount a disk image and then unmount it and delete once the installation is finished, which can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you have to test many apps in a short amount of time.

Thinking of that, this time we’ll share a couple of neat little workflows that you can implement on your Mac using Automator. With any of them, every time you are done with an app installation on your Mac, you’ll be able to eject/unmount and delete the disk image in just a couple of clicks.

Let’s get started with how to set up these nice Automator workflows.

Delete DMG Files Automatically When You Eject Them

Step 1: Open Automator and choose to create a new document. From the available document types that show up on the dialog box, select Service.

Apple company’s previous time the thought to feature this feature to the sooner Macintosh package. Macos see last dmg installed free.

Step 2: At the top of the right panel, make sure to choose from the dropdown menus the options ‘no input’ and ‘Finder’ respectively so that the end result is as the one pictured below.

Step 3: Next, on the left panel of Automator, search for the Run AppleScript action and drag it to the right panel. An AppleScript window will show up with some placeholder code in it.

Delete that code and instead copy and paste the following one in the script box:

tell application 'Finder'
set selection_list to selection
if (count selection_list) < 1 then
display dialog ¬
'Please select a volume mounted from a disk image.' with title ¬
'No Selection Found' with icon stop ¬
buttons ['OK'] default button 1
return
end if
set my_selection to item 1 of selection_list
set my_kind to kind of my_selection
set my_name to name of my_selection
if my_kind is not 'Volume' then
display dialog ¬
'Please select a volume mounted from a disk image file.' with title ¬
'Selection is not a Disk Image' with icon stop ¬
buttons ['OK'] default button 1
return
end if
set volume_list to paragraphs of (do shell script 'hdiutil info grep ^/dev/disk grep -o '/Volumes/.*')
set source_list to paragraphs of (do shell script 'hdiutil info grep ^image'-'alias grep -o '/.*')
set match_found to false
repeat with v from 1 to (count volume_list)
if '/Volumes/' & my_name = item v of volume_list then
set match_found to true
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if match_found is not equal to true then
display dialog ¬
'The selected volume does not appear to be a Disk Image.' with title ¬
'Could not find Disk Image' with icon stop ¬
buttons ['OK'] default button 1
return
else
set my_source to POSIX file (item v of source_list) as alias
move my_source to the trash
eject my_selection
--reveal my_source
end if
end tell

Step 4: Now save this Automator service and give it a name that is easy to remember.

Step 5: Once this is done, every time you have a disk image mounted, all you have to do is select it and on the Finder menu select Services and then Eject and Delete (or whatever you named the service you just created) and the disk image file will be both unmounted and deleted with one click.

Now, let’s take a look at another Automator workflow that achieves the same objective doing exactly the opposite.

Eject DMG Files Automatically When You Drag Them To the Trash

As you can see from the title, this Automator workflow allows you to achieve the same purpose, except that in reverse, so you can avoid this message every time you drag to the trash a mounted DMG file.

Here are the steps to create it.

Step 1: Create a new document in Automator and select Folder Action from the available document types.

Step 2: At the top of the right panel, select Other… from the dropdown menu. Then, on the dialog box that pops over, type ~/.Trash to work with that folder.

Step 3: Next, on the left panel, drag the Run Shell Script action to the right panel. On the two dropdown menus that show up, select /usr/bin/python and as arguments respectively.

Step 4: Replace the placeholder script in the script box with the following one:

import string, os, sys
lines = os.popen('hdiutil info').readlines()
should_eject = False
for line in lines:
if line.startswith('image-alias'):
path = line.split(':')[1]
image_path = path.lstrip().rstrip()
if image_path in sys.argv:
should_eject = True
elif line.startswith('/dev/') and should_eject is True:
os.popen('hdiutil eject %s' % line.split()[0])
should_eject = False
elif line.startswith('###'):
should_eject = False

Once done, save the Folder Action and quit Automator. Now, whenever a DMG file is mounted, all you’ll have to do is drag it to the Trash and it will be unmounted at the same time. Repairing gameboy dmg-01 screen free.

You can also create keyboard shortcuts for these actions by following the instructions at the end of this tutorial.

And there you go. Two different workflows to enable a very convenient feature on your Mac. Now all left to do is just choose which one you find more convenient. And the best of all? In both cases you’ll learn a bit more about Automator. Enjoy!
